For women in academia, barriers to having children aren't just finding partners or preserving fertility. It's systemic barriers—relentless relocations, temporary contracts, focus on individual achievement—planning for a family is like an impossible luxury.https://t.co/itwB9c9odw

I had the great honor to have my research featured in a video portrait in the #scilog series @FWF_at - as colorful as science & with a second topic highlighted that is very deep to my head: #diversity, #equity and #inclusion, where everyone can contribute. I do so @STEM_fatale_

[The STEM fatale Initiative @STEM_fatale_]

Starting in 5 minutes! We are so excited 🧠 ⚡️
17 registrations, one enthusiastic coach and a meaningful workshop ahead!

Too few women are submitting research to Nature as corresponding authors. This week’s editorial looks at the data behind the unacceptably low numbers of papers from women senior authors in Nature #womeninSTEM

“When women are destroyed, it’s not a women’s question. It’s a human question.”

Denis Mukwege was awarded the 2018 #NobelPeacePrize for his work fighting against the use of sexual violence in war.

We love #science and talking about it. Listen to the latest #podcast episode of „Stethoskop - Medizin zum Nachhören“, where @amberg_nicole provides snackable bites on stem cells - what they are, what they do, where to find them and how to use them in #research.

Study of women in STEM (N=600) finds
- 55% have been 'quietly promoted'--given more responsibility w/o a change in pay or title
- Remote workers (5%) faced less gender-based issues than those working in-person (20%).
